Application filed Api-i1 2,1907. Serial No. 366,040.

in thn'eonntv ol lludsoii and State of New Jersey. have l invented eert-.tin new and useful iniprovenients in Steiundioilers, of whit-li the following is :i speeilii-at ioti.

'lhe use of stieatiiliolers for iiiodern iiiotor veliieles' has iliade it desirable to eonstruet, boilers in whi'eh steaiii iiia v lie generated in as short; as possilile Linie. Various eonstruetioi'is linve been proposed for aeeoniplisliingr this resultl iiiost; of thein require rallier eoiiiplieated iiieiuis, while `ity isohvious that. this means should lie as siniple as possible, and should be easily aeeessihle for cleaning and repairing purposes. BoiL ers adapted to generate ste-ani in a short time are in iiiosty of the eases of the tuliulons type, comprising a, large nnuiher of tnliesof very stiiall dianietei', proViding,r tlierelilv :i plurality of interetinneeted water-spaces. .lL eau lie seen that. the eleaning and repairingr of these tfuliei. is \'ei' \j dillienlt, on iieeount, ol' not heing'aeees sible. l

l1 is now the objet-t. ol' the present.-invention to provide av lioiler ol' siiiiple eonsLi'in-t ion and of a very siii-all water-spare. wliieh water-spine iiiay he regulated at will :iet-outing tothe requirements, while at. the s-.une

'lhe invention is illustrated in the aeeonipiniying drawings. in whit-li i Figure l i's a ventral vertieal eross-seetioii of a boiler eonstrueted iieeordingto the present invention, Fig. 12 a. vei'tieal erossseetion of tl.I lioiler at right. angles to the axis of tfhe saine. and Fig. Il shows` a. iiiodilieation of the :levier- .l in Fig. l is a lioilei' of "vlindrieal forni aiid olI the horizontal type. inelosi-d in finnai-e walls phaviiig the iisual lire liox Ii. provided with grate liars l, ash pit: 5 and .tluii-spaees (i, t'onneeted h v nieans of the passage T tothe elininey. 'lhus far the lioiler is of ordinary eonstruetion of the el'ass naiiied and is provided .with tlte nsti-.il lioiler aeeessoriesnot. shown in the drawing.

e \lindrie; il hollow liody S. elosed ai its ends and open oi'ilv at the uppermost portion of the eylindrieal nieiins of-rods l). These rods pass through the shell of tht` lioiler l und are provided with hand wheels l() and serew-tlireinls ll. in niesli with the eorrespondin gr si ie\v-fln'e;ids of thi` volte l2. 'l`he lioler 'is provided lendingr into and near to thiI liottolii el the eylindrieal liod)Y 5. -lt will he seen that tl'ie euvliudrieal liodv niav lie loweieil or raised and then-lijf tlie water spat-e of the lioilei may lie varied.

iti indieates a lioileil of the vertieal type walled-in in the inelosure l?, having the usual lire lio.\" l5, with the grate 'i9 :ind the :ish pit 2t). For the purpose et inereiising the heatingr snrfaee, flue Spaees'jl are provided. eonneeted by nieans ol the passages 22 to the ehiniiie). hell iii 'is centrally loe-ated within said huilt-r. t'losed at, its lower .ind open at; its upper oli'strueted end. rod 24. seeured tlnfroto.. passes through the shell oi the lioiler and thel stulling box The upper end of this rod is provided with scrmr-tliieads 2li lit unto the threads o1' the woke-28.

It: is olivious that, the water spate oi the boilers may he regulated to any pre1leteriiiiiied degree by lifting or lowering?r the e vlindrie.ii liodii S or the'liell 23. as the ease may he. llie w-.iter spat-e regulating7 nieans serves at tlie s-.une tiiin'- as a doiiie for the steani, ihcreasing thereby the steaiii sp-.ilee of the boiler.
